Christmas Fun

WARNING>>>LONG POST
I tried to get a good one of our tree but the lighting wasn't working right.



Oh Christmas time....We always have the best Christmases. It has worked out perfect over the years to where we have plenty of time to spend with each family. Our day goes like this...Me and Ty wake up and make breakfast and open our gifts from eachother. This year I got Ty all set up to go fishing. A new pole, tackle, a tackle box backpack and some cologne. He totally spoiled me with a brand new desktop computer! I was/am so excited. Then we go to my family's to open gifts. My family got us sheets for our new bed, a nice big mirror, a new knife set, clothes, gift cards and candy. Then we went to his grandparents for lunch and presents. His aunts and uncles and little cousins were there. I have to give a shout out to his family, I definitly married into a great one. We always have so much fun with them and they all know how to have such an awesome time. Anyways,we started doing white elephant gifts last year and they are always so so funny. I was having way too much fun so I forgot about taking pictures. OOPSIE.


Here is one of tyler, his mom gave a lion outfit. Headband with ears, nose that roars and purrs, a bowtie and a tail. She always thinks of funny creative ones.

Grandpa was the last to get a gift and it was a scentsy car candle I was curious how this would work out to be funny... when everyone started laughing cuz apparently he has lost his sense of smell so it worked out good.

After many hours of games, fun and food with Tylers family we went back to my moms where she always has a huge spread of food and usually a very large party. (I think the snow stopped many people from coming. Again I was slacking with the pics. )We ended the night with some karaoke which was hilarious. I did participate but no pics were taken. Oh well :) Here are a couple pictures of the fun night.

Jim did AWESOME at karoke

My uncle Blaine and Aunt Linda

I hope everyone had a very fun christmas. Have a happy New Year!!!

Ugly Sweater Party

This post is quite late but I have been busy and its hard to keep up with blogging without a computer. This was our first annual ugly sweater party. It was at Sheena and Cody's and turned out great. Tons of laughter, fun, friends and drink. We also did a white elephant gift that was HILARIOUS! With gifts ranging from unscented candles, VHS tapes, a bag of trash, adult novelty items to flippers. It was awesome.

Damn we looked good

California Love !!!

We got a new bed... A California King! We had a queen before and it was nice but I am quite the bed hog and tylers back has really been bugging him so we opted for a new bed. We got the most AMAZINGly sweet deal on this bed we could not turn it down. I don't know why or how we keep fitting bigger stuff into the smallest room/apt we call home but it fits and its nice. I am hitting up LNT and this wholesale store called Lucky Aces to find a nice comforter set. I can't find my memory card adapter to put pics up so sorry my blogging has been a little lazy.
Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Happy shopping to you all for christmas and remember to give to an animal shelter or donate somewhere this season. I believe that is the true meaning of Christmas...to give of yourself and want nothing in return. Its sad that this world has made that a hard thing to do but try it and I bet you will feel slightly enlightened. Talk to ya soon.

Oh Twilight...

Yes it is finally here and yes all of us crazy fans have seen it. My hubby even did :) I really liked it so much however I felt there was WAY too much info left out. Hello the bonfire scene and Carlisle explaining to Bella about their history at the house that first time... And I have to apologize to Edward cuz I did not think he was good looking but as the movie went on he definitly grew on me. I thought they picked perfect people for the characters except Jasper. He is too puny. Overall I think it was good, the rest are sure to come with all this success and hype on the first one. I just hope the writer remembers to put pertinent info in the rest of them and make them a little longer so it can happen. Anyways I would love to hear everyones opinions also. I don't think I will ever get sick of talking about the Twilight Series!!!

Nothing going on....

Well life is not very exciting right now so I don't have a whole lot to talk about.
We have just been working and hanging out. I am having a very hard time staying motivated this school semester. I get to start the nursing program in January and I am SO excited to just do it already. Ty is still working(thankfully) this is a pretty rough time for trade work. Especially people who work in new construction since it has pretty much come to a stand still.
Other than that I am looking forward to the holidays but I am at a loss with what to get my friends and family. Oh well it will come to me.
Remember that I am selling Scentsy for those of you who are also trying to figure out gifts for people. I can mail you a catalogue and try to get together with you to smell the scents, or an even better idea.... Have a party and you get all the free stuff :) check out the website at http://www.scentsy.com/ to get a general idea and let me know if you have questions. Hope everyone is well and have a wonderful day!

Halloween '08

Better late than never.
